Pros: Excellent cafeterias! Geniuses abound, or so the spin doctors say.
Cons: Rank and yank destroys the culture. This is a class-based culture, folks. Never forget it. As a contractor, I was untouchable. This seems to have been adopted due to Gates' love of all things subcontinental. But unlike our friends over the waves, they don't expel their untermensch every year.
